Mapping is a powerful way to tell a story about a health problem such as high maternal or newborn mortality, but its potential has been underutilized. The advanced models and analytical tools embedded in geographical information systems allow a more in-depth analysis of causes and barriers to maternal and newborn health services. This paper presents a framework for methodological approaches to inform improved decision making.
